I agree that the Islanders have more of a need for a scoring winger than the Leafs, but I believe that the reason why the OP has the Leafs at higher odds than the Islanders are for 2 reasons:
1. Not wanting to trade to a team within the division. I know that Palmieri is on an expiring deal, but the team that trades for him likely has a slightly higher chance of re-signing him.
2. Dubas' comments about his willingness to trade his young assets, which probably entices NJ.
And yes, Boston is technically in the same division right now, but they won't be after this season when it really matters.
